Wow! Just amazing! Every time something else gets added I expect Billy Mays to leap from his cocaine induced grave and give you a big, wet, sloppy kiss in adoration. About Club TPR, I have a question. Are we going to sign up for it via the TPR store & pay pal or is there going to be some sort of printable sheet that we fill out, and send in with payment?

I wonder what Disney has to offer? First and foremost I want to apologise to Robb and Elissa. I know how hard they have been working on Club TPR. I also want to point out how excited I am about it, and can't wait to become a member. If they will still have me after my pathetic attempt at a joke. I said this knowing full well that Disney doesn't really do these things. I suck a huge bag of dicks, and deserve to be punched in the nuts. Guy "Standing with my crotch out, ready to be punched."

Coaster Expedition Volume 13 is HERE!

I just watched this last night. (While TiVoing the Academy Awards. Yay! "Hurt Locker!" ) I must say, these videos get better and better. It's like spending an hour with some of the greatest friends you will ever have. Awesome fun is at every turn with Robb & Elissa leading a crazy pack of coaster nutjobs. I can't wait to watch it again. These videos are only second to the amazing word filter that exists on this site. Guy "Your doing the Lords work Alveys." Koepp -

The 15th can not come fast enough. Guy "My check goes out Monday!" Koepp -
As did I my friend, as did I. And I must say, it was memorable, exciting, and liberating. I can honestly say, that is the coaster that created the enthusiast you see before your eyes today. I have only come close to that kind of ride on one other coaster. El Toro. I have to think you guys MUST have been on WAAAAY better coasters since then or perhaps your membory is a bit clouded? I also rode Colossus in 1978 and yes, the original profile was MUCH better than it currently is today, but I personally don't think it's as good as you guys are making it out to be, and I'm also probably assuming that, like me, when you had ridden Colossus I'll bet you've been on less than 10 other woodies at that time. For example, in 1978, Colossus was the ONLY wooden coaster I had ever been on, so sure it makes my memory of that ride even more spectacular. BUT... I'd put it on par with the current Grand National at Blackpool as far as racing coasters go. (Actually, I think Grand National has MORE ejector airtime than Colossus ever did!) But really, all of the woodies in my top ten are EASILY better than Colossus' original layout. (El Toro, Phoenix, Raven, T Express, Balder, Ravine Flyer II, Rampage, etc... holy crap, RAMPAGE! I never got an awesome A$$ KICKING on the original Colossus as I did on last year's Rampage ERT!!!) There is NO FREAKING WAY that if Colossus was reverted back to it's original layout that it would even compete with some of the best woodies of today. If anything, after all that work was done, YES it would be better, absoultely, but I think most people would be all "Really? This is what it was like? This isn't THAT much different!!!" Sure, it would have knocked out most of it's competition in 1978, but compared to some of the woodies built in the past 32 years, no way. --Robb "Just my opinion, but I think the 'legend' of Colossus is better than how the actual ride was." Alvey Yes I was young when I rode it . (11) I had only ridden one other wooden coaster at that time, I think. (Giant Dipper @ Belmont Park.) I just remember getting off of it and being thrilled! OMG Thrilled like never before! I try to take what others say about rides with a grain of salt so I can enjoy a coaster as much as possible, but honestly, the only two other wooden coasters that I have gotten off of recently that gave me that much thrill have been El Taco, & Boulder Dash. Thinking back in the past 10 years, Ghostrider the year it opened blew me away as well. But that memory is the reason It still ranks in my top 20 wood. I have this amazing sentimental attachment to it. Now I havn't ridden most of the coasters you mentioned. When I do, I honestly hope they do give me that thrilling feeling that I learned to crave from riding Colossus. Guy "I am always searching for that special feeling again." Koepp

All I can say is, this is a good thing. This ride was horrible when I rode it in 06. The improvements can only help the ride. If this is a success, I can only hope that they use the same technology on some older woodies that could use a facelift. (Cough! Cough! Colossus back to it's original layout with no MCBR! Cough! Cough!) Guy "The great racer shall rise again!" Koepp

^God how I love food analagies. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm original recipe! KFC for dinner tonight? I think I'll be having traditional sit down with a butt load of mashed potatoes. Guy "Wait a minute, If the Original Recipe is a traditional sit down, what would adding the mashed potatoes make it? What if I had the baked beans as well? And the corn on a stick! Ohhhh! And the mac and cheese! Wow! Suddenly I have a traditional sitdown, multi looper, rocket (get it? beans. ),Intimin wood (stick), 4D (m&c). Now that's a coaster I can get in to!" Koepp -

^Not that it matters Robb, but people seem to really enjoy the whole jump drive thing. Alana has put all her audio movies on jump drives as well as CD, and it seems the jump drives are out selling the CDs almost 3 to 1. Guy "Just an FYI." Koepp
